I often find myself alone,
In dark thoughts of my grey tombstone-
I am silent in my own dark solitude,
Drowning in my own loneliness,
The spirits of the dead,
Who stood in life before me,
Are again in death.
I feel there presents surrounding me,
Their shadows overtaking me,
I need not be still,
For i am not alone now in my deep dark misery,
My own personal ing hell...
The dark of night creeping apon me,
The stars above so bright,
As they give light to where my body has been put to rest,
Six feet under the ground.
Are the Angels above me,
Looking down apon me???
Will they cast out all these demons with in me???
Will they take me to the heavens above me?
Or will i sink deeper and deeper into my own lonely dark personal ing hell???

The demons
They lurk at the bottom
The bottom of the bottle
The violence, the rage
The death calling my name
It's all there on the last sip
I can taste the pain before it goes dark
But it's the devil
The evil in my soul
Bringing the struggle
The suffering
All the sadness
The heartbreak
The memories of a good time
That really never happened
Romanticism is the messenger of death
And a suicide note is already penned
And if I don't let him drown
I die from myself
So I sip sip sip
Fast fast fast
So when I meet the demons
It's already dark dark dark
I am black-out drunk
I've many times wished to see into the souls of an LA swat team.
When trigger after trigger spells the end of mother's nurse dreams.
And lives of light scatter.
I too have wished to see the inner spirits of such soldiers that could kill their
mirror likeness for a South African Banker.
That could kiss the face of Jeus for thirty pieces of God.
That could sit on the supreme court of this United States, look God right in the
eye, and vote against a brother gettin' a chance.
That could take a woman by the hair, rip off her pants, and prove his slave
owning manhood through the savage theft of innocence.
See, I've many times wished to see into the souls of an LA swat team that can
look growing hopes in the face and squeeze them life less.
I've stared, horrified, into my own cowardice and insecurity.
I can empathize with the souls of gangsters, I see what demons bask in the glory
of brethren.
What security is payment enough to suck freedom so far from the reach of God's
children.
People always talk about bleeding hearts.
But I wish that maybe instead of having revivals with step-stows that Christain
ministries would go to LAS put the cross in front of a Swat Team and ask them
why?
Do you take such pleasure in clasping shackles on your brethren.
And when the guns dropped, tears began to flow, and numbed spirits began to
sing their sorrows of blind obedience.
We could once again lock hands and tell whatever thief sits behind the 35 story
buildings, the world-wide financial network, virtual emotion a,d Fox Television to
go back to hell, cause we ain't buyin it!!
I was fifteen
When we met
Never figured on the stage being set
Back then for where we are now
But we started dating right away
And I honestly have to say
You brought joys
And smiles to my days
Those fantasies that filled
My dreams in the night
So young and very nieve
We could have never understood then
What was right before our eyes
So we dared to believe
That what we had was just not meant to be
Now I wonder if what we had was the real thing
Would that be so hard
For you to conceive
There was a time
When you and I
Were so mad at each other
We didn't speak for years
When we finally spoke again
There was tension to no end
There was anger still there
And we couldn't pretend
Our love for each other
Whas blinded by such rage
I thought we had moved on past it all
That we each had turned the page
Yet still we didn't realize
There was more going on besides
Anger, rage, hurt feelings, and broken hearts
Love was there but it was in disguise
All the rage had us so hypnotized
We just couldn't see how we were tearing each other apart
We really did still have the others heart
Why didn't we see what was in front of us all along
Here we are now
Dancing to the same old song
I feel so deep in my heart and soul
With all my body and in every bone
Together is where we belong
So I ask you to look deep in your heart
Do you believe what I feel so strong
Is completely wrong
Why can't we take that chance
Give our lies back that romance
We've grown since back then
Look at the lives we've lived
For everyone else we'd always give
Never really to ourselves
Life is to short
To give up just yet
Let's not let the music stop
Let's not let the dance end
Let us instead give our broken hearts
The chance they need to finally mend
You can try
So damn hard
To run away from your demons
But from them you can never hide
Trust me when I say I've tried
So here I am
Arms wide open
Heart on my sleeve
So will you open your arms to me
Or will you just
Turn and leave
You light the morning
With a sunrise
Sending joy
Into our lives
You light the night
With moonlight
Sending stars
To twinkle with life
You wake the seasons
With new life
Sending miracles
Born of faith
You whisper love
To the heart
With Jesus’ teachings
From His word
You send us everything
All mercy and grace
Feelings of tenderness
Beyond measure
You send love so sweet
We live in pure pleasure
Love that sends intimacy
To those who share the treasure
Of knowing you intimately
You breath life
Through your word
Reawaken hearts
Who have been hurt
You fight for the ones
Who demons pursue
Create a sense of joy
Where blindness withstood
You create a world
Where goodness lives
Despite all the hate
That the devil spins
You make it safe
To worship and praise
Your wonderous Son
The one who died
And rose again
Making us capable
Of living forever
Oh Ye Pig
Let me understand you and feel your pain
For you have been labeled unclean
And a derogotory name to many
Some refuse to have you on there plate
While others can't keep you off there plate
I see you led as the sheep to the slaughter
To see you in your entrapment
You love to eat and I notice roll in the mud
As if you are digging a hole for more water
Now we will pause and remember when
You had a good shepherd that kept His eyes on you
You would graze in the meadows
Having an unlimited amount of food
Just enjoying the company of the others
There was a lake for when you would thirst
Then came a man full of demons
The demons entertained him for a long time
Causing him to be cast out into the tombs
Jesus came by him one day and cast them out
The demons said we can at least go into the pigs
So Jesus did allow this, it was around 2 thousand
And when the demons entered these pigs
They knew right away and took notice
As one took off to the lake they all did
They wanted the water to try and wash this off
But the only way was to drown
So now in there entrapment they are digging
A hole so if a human walks by and evil spirit
Comes there way they have a puddle to hide there head under to escape this lifestyle
From the legend of a wise pig herd
So why do humans entertain unclean spirits
And not even know it in everyday life
For they cant recognize this within
Because this is what man desires in the flesh
When one gets tired of all the foolishness
Jesus shall drop a running fountain on your head
And wash you clean to have rest for your soul
Then you will become led as a sheep to be slaughter
Your eyes are as cold as steel
Glaring at me I just feel
Ice forming inside my soul
Now they're turning black as coal
Leaving darkness in my mind
Where is the happy and kind
Guy I fell so much in love with
What happened to turn the switch
Making you the opposite
Turning you distant and blank
I want to go inside and yank
The evil that's inside your soul
Making you once again whole
To the man I really love
The guy I used to dream of
Now it's a nightmare I see
Awake, standing in front of me
I am ready to attack
With a huge and big hard smack
Whacking demons straight back to hell
They left you an empty shell
Of the man you used to be
Honey please come back to me
The travelling circus arrived in town
I bought some tickets for my family
We got there early for the matinee
At the entrance was a scary sad clown.
*
Like the scary sad clown who in the night
Would come and terrorize me in my dreams
Mom would be alerted by my loud screams
And stay beside me until the morns light.
*
For fifty years it has stayed in my mind
He had a white face with evil black eyes
Red striped trousers; a killer in disguise
In my mind they were evil of some kind.
*
The show began with the flying trapeze
We all got seated in the front row seats
They dazzled us with death defying feats
Forgot the clown and felt more at ease.
*
In the interval though; the clowns appeared
They were laughing and doing stupid things
Realized now that they were human beings
I just laughed and my demons disappeared.

The idealistic horrors, go dancing through my heart
Pulling my muscles and my veins apart
Dancing with demons, I spin in a trance
My feet and my legs step to the beat of this dance
Under my flesh, the weakness seeps through my skin
Poisoning my insides --- making my life the deadliest sin
Dizzy and brainwashed, I stop the eternal spinning
Feeling the lessons --- in what’s left of my brain --- slowly imprinting
Lost and alone, left for dead and deprived
Learning this new path --- mistakenly arrived
The emptiness and unconsciousness of my exoskeleton shell
The lost and forgotten Isle of Nothingness I will dwell
The soulless inside of the deepest parts of me
Something that not even the oracle could foresee
The ever-changing fate that constantly changes in my life
Prevents me from being his perfect wife
The demons I face on my journey through this life
Finds myself around corners of nothing but pain and strife
The fiery flames leap up and they lick
Hitting the pool balls of my life with a cue stick
The damage it scars me deeper everyday
The variety of chaos and the colorful array
Chained to this life --- going nowhere fast
Leaves all of my other options completely unsurpassed
So alone I wander through this bottomless pit
Because walking in this life right now I’m definitely unfit…
